Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It has to be confirmed clostridium diffcile infection. If you do not want to take the vancomycin then you can try tablet Metronidazole twice in a day for 10 days. Beside this, you do not have any option else you could wait for natural remission.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
